That's the beauty of the pumper , one of mine is a 1960's rifle . A drop of oil every year and that is the extent of maintenance , or at least on mine .
EDIT : most of the time @ 30 yards i pump 3 times . .20 cal

I bought a Cheap Barska 4x "airgun" scope for my R7 and a non branded (O-junk?)short 3-9 for my Pro-Sport on Amazon.
i did a quick zero at 50' indoor range out of the cold.
Both shot fine and adjusted how they should. We shall see how they hold up

Both great air rifles. I tried to get my Prosport to shoot the jsb's the best, but the QYS couldn't be denied..lol. I only tried the 8.44 exacts, though I haven't tried any AA pellets thus far.

It really likes the 4.53 8.44 Exacts .Are you talking thr QYS domes? I've not tried those but use their wadcutters in match guns successfully.
I've not opened up the prosport but it's kind of a buzzy turd. It shoots so well i'm not touching it.Its pushing 16FPE.
The R7 is only putting out 6 FPE But shoot so damn good i'm not going to worry about it. I replaced the breach seal and the piston seal when I got it last year. But I only chronographed it a couple days ago.

Love that picture!
I live in Georgia and we’re freaking out about it being 20 degrees this week. I really enjoy your shooting pictures and I’m wondering if the lake or river at your house is frozen. Got any pictures of it?

Yes the 8.48 domes, QYS has a 9 something grain pellet but i haven't seen any for sale.
All you need to do is make a tighter fitting guide on your lathe and that buzz will be gone in the Prosport.

Yeah, that's what I was figuring in the Pro Sport but I'm just reluctant because it shoots so well..... The first Pro-Sport I had was not this buzzy ,i'm surprised at this one is.

Easy to do, and I don't think it will change how well it shoots. Making the guide will take longer than installing it.

This is part of my shore line, just starting to freeze.
Ironically I shoot way more in winter than any other season. Crow

Got my first Diana, used in very good condition. Diana 34 .177 build date of 08/05, has the T05 trigger. Cocking is smooth. shot cycle is calm and trigger is clean at 1 1/2-2#(guessing). I only had time for a little chrony work, 3 pellets 10 shts ea. ES was very good for all 3 pellets. Power was 12-13 fpe, AA 8.44 avg 800 fps, AA 7.87 avg 856 fps and AA 7.33 avg 876 fps. Do these number look right? Gun was cold probably 35-40* and 45* in the shop. I guess I was hoping for 900-925 fps with AA 7.87. So far I don't hate it. I will get some pics ASAP.

If your ES is good and the accuracy is there, I would be happy at 12 ft. lbs.
At average squirrel shootin distance, they are not gonna notice the difference, if you place the shot right.

Never fired 1 round. In town today. Picked these up at post office. 
The open is for a 35. Still have 3-4 arcs en-route.
‘My buddy calls me on my cell about a 1927 Vickers falling block, target rifle, .22. They listed as Mint shape. I was about 5 miles from it. Knew the owner shop, so I called, he said, “don’t drag your heels”.
Check out the sights
I’m not into rimfires but this is the one I wanted. 
All original. I know it’s not an air rifle, but had to show this safe Queen.
From the muzzle to the breach is one machined piece with a tapered barrel. 26 1/2 inches
The workmanship is just outstanding. This is my rim fire shooter but won’t get near the air time the springers will. Crow
